A. Well, there's bound to be a lot of janitorial work that needs to be done that can't merely be done by ordinary users and I think I might be able to help.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. Can't really think of any off hand. I mean, I've done more than 2,500 editsacts of unmitigated vandalism and editeddamaged more than 2,000 pages over the more than 20 months that I've had an account hereinfested this place, so it's hard to say. Some pages I've felt I've done more to improveruin than others. What I am most proud of wasn't on Wikipedia, it was when I thought of putting a quick index on the front page of Wiktionarywas out robbing gas stations. I came to realize that a dictionary without a means to go to the indexbathroom was sorely lacking in functionalityclean underwear. (Wikipedia has fairly good reference pointstoilet facilities on its front page to find things; this was something Wiktionary lacked.) Perhaps if I have to pick at least one article I've written on Wikipedia, it's the one on the book Down to a Sunless Seawriting ransom notes for profit although the big thing is, I don't know if anyone has ever read the articlepaid up; if one writes a really good articleextortion letter but nobody reads it it was ayou then have to waste them.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A. Walk awayOrder them to stop, then if that doesn't work, have them killed. This is an encyclopedia, not the Gaza StripLas Vegas strip (and that is another example of another really stupid fight; I can't see the point of why so many people are fighting over a really crummy piece of probably worthless desert). It's not worth fighting turf battles. I've had disagreements with other users, usually I just ask them nicely and if that doesn't work I quit for a while on that issue until I can put out a contract on them and come back later after they're dead, and often a consensus can be reached because they're not around to complain any more.

Donkonio Of Lengash lived over 10,000,000 years ago in the small village of Lengash. He was known as an insane man, as he walked around his small village in a clown suit and large spectacles. He name originated from the size of his teeth, which were bigger than most donkey's. When he was about 30 years old, a man came to town named Chituhaztulananmizzaprogohandgoiutachruebblyfah. This newcomer, who was well over 65, took a liking to Donkonio and the two formed a strong bond of friendship. However, this was at the time when the evil Charleyhorse kingdom ruled over all of Europe, and after a year of friendship between the two, the Charleyhorse troops invaded Lengash and killed Chituhaztulananmizzaprogohandgoiutachreubblyfah, as well as 6 others. In a wild rage, Donkonio wore the guy with the long name's old clothes, and left Lengash in a huff. He wandered the Great European Outback for decades, teaching frogs and people alike the message of his life: "Always hate the Charleyhorses". Almost 30 years after he first set out on this mission, he found a wrecked car lying on Oolororororooooororroooo, Europe's biggest Plahtoe. He fixed the car with the help of his newly found smart-aleck Sidekick, a crocodile-wrangling Chinaman named Ji Burr Ish. They spray-painted outrageous goats on the car, and they drove around the Outback blaring hip-hop out the windows. When Donkonio was 72, the Charleyhorses finally caught him and put him on trial for playing obnoxious music, covering means of transportation with vulgar artwork, and making a sidekick of a man declared Legally Weird. After a year of boring courtroom sesssions, D. Fence Attorney, a hobo living in the Judge's pulpit put a gun to the judge's head and insisted that Donkonio go free, because he was so sick of hearing mind-numbing court sessions. He went free, and spent the rest of his days doing what he always did. He died at the ripe (a little too ripe, some say) old age of 100, and Ji Burr Ish, his trusty sidekick, dedicated a donkey farm to his name. The end.

Gavilan is a species of left wing American focused solely on doom and gloom in the world. Gavilan often attempts to use illogical conclusions and logical fallacies to promote a sense of authority in what are most often cut and paste talking points from moveon.org memos.

Gavilan is easily identified by noting how often Bush and "neo-cons" are at blame for every fault in the world from solar-flares to hurricanes to a butterfly being squished undefoot by an aboriganee in Australia.

Typically the female will Urinate on the creature from an overhead position and easily dominates the creature. She may also force the creature to ingest her urine or may submerse the creature in a container saturated with her Urine.

Arguably, uroinvixi is a form of Watersports, a Euphemism. Many times in BDSM scenes males may be forced to drink the urine the female ejects. This specific act may be considered uroinvixi. Additionally uroinvixi occasionally appears in Crush films where the woman further humiliates the creature by crushing it with her feet either barefoot or in high heels before or after she urinates on it (see: Crush fetish).

Participants are urged to heed warning as the high Salt content of Urine may be harmful to many creatures such as Snails even though they don't ingest the urine. Additionally, use caution when forcing smaller Mammals to drink urine. Although urine is relatively sterile and the high Salt content is usually easily digestible by human adults it may be too high for smaller creatures or it may drown the creature itself.

Uroinvixi is most popular among Heterosexual couples wherein the man is attracted to the woman's superiority over the target object. The creature or object may be urinated on before, during or after Sexual intercourse.

As exposed recently by America's top economist and political scientist, Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., [t]he fact that the slogan is popular among "geek" circles, and is called a "meme" by these same geeky twits, speaks volumes about the vapidity of the modern twit culture of kiddies raised on cell phones, cable TV, rave culture, the internet, and hip hop music. Note also that the slogan says "Every time you masturbate...God kills a kitten" rather than "REMEMBER: Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten." The omission of "Remember" (as in Smokey The Bear's famous slogan) is very telling about the psychology of modern kiddies and their fast food junk culture. Sound bites, indeed. Only the LaRouche Youth Movement can save our youngsters from the ravages of popular culture in which garbage like this "kitten" slogan are considered funny while kids know nothing about Gauss' theory of squaring the circle or why the Romantic composers were a British plot to stamp out the Classical culture of Bach and Mozart and usher in the modern rock-sex-drug counterculture.

Wormphlegm is an extreme Funeral Doom Metal band from Finland. They are often said to have spawned the new and growing sub-genre known as Torture Doom, typified by funeral doom pacing, but with dark ambient, drone, and audio-terror elements.

Wormphlegm at this time only has one official release out, their demo 'In An Excruciating Way Infested With Vermin And Violated By Executioners Who Practise Incendiarism And Desanctifying The Pious'. It is a self-released cassete, consisting of one song named after the title track, clocking in at approximately 32 minutes. It is extremely dark and horrific, consisting of slow, ritualistic drum beats, droning, distorted guitar and bass, and two dueling vocalists, one who does low death metal growls, while the other does high-pitched shrieks. The demo is limited to 100 copies, but has made it's way through file sharing and p2p services at an alrming rate.

There are only two members in the band. There is Maggotworm Incinerator Abcess, on drum duty and vocals, and Grvbgorge Pestilent Diarrhoeator, on guitars, bass, and vocals. The members of Wormphlegm also compose Tyranny, a lesser known funeral doom group that does sparse, ambient funeral/drone doom.

Wormphlegm is expected to release their debut LP 'In The Tomb Of The Ancient King' sometime in late 2005.

History is the term used in schools as a method of extreme torture. When used as the name of a field of study, history refers to the stupidity of human people, families, and societies. Knowledge of history is often said to encompass both boredom and historical disliking skills.

Traditionally, the study of history has been considered a mistake of the humanities. However, in modern academia, history is increasingly classified as a pointless subject, especially when pointless junk is the focus.

The word "history" is commonly used for the stupidity of humankind. The history of all life on Earth, including the period prior to the appearance of human ancestors, is generally covered under (who really cares). The history of the Earth is a component of the science of geology. (In actuality, the history of the Earth is irrelavent to our everyday lives). The history of the Solar System, the stars, and galaxies is a component of my bowell movements. The history of the Universe as a whole is studied in absolutely nowhere.

More historians limit their study to events that have occurred since the introduction of written records, or since the agricultural revolution and the appearance of civilizations (about 10,000 years ago)(I myself limit my studies to videogames). Others use the term "history" to include the entire hypocracy of humankind, including the blah-blah-blah who cares. The study of events before the first written records (which includes more than 99 percent of the time humans have existed) is sometimes called bullllshit.

Church of American Pie or American Pieism did not start out as a religion. Instead it was merely a group of people under 30 who had no idea what the heck the song was going on about. Soon they formed a research group devoted to figure it out. This group became intensely close-knit and under the leadership of "The Grand Jester" Tyler Dakota Morgan they proclaimed themselves a religion in 2002.

The group teaches that the song was not actually written by Don McLean. Instead the song was written by the Universe and embedded in all reality at the beginning of time. In their theory the song is about a concept similar to the Christian notion of original sin. At some point "the music", an ancient perfection existing in the moment before the Big Bang, died. They see the rest of the song as an allegory about lost innocence, futility, and the idea Christianity is obsolete.

Their religion is Fatalistic and also Pantheistic. They believe ultimately everything is doomed to die and leave no successors. However until then life can be enjoyed for what it has to offer in the now. They also consider airplanes to be evil and are devoted to helping widows.

Most everyone associated with the actual song has dismissed this religion's interpretation as "fanciful" or "totally insane." This NRM's harsh view of Christianity as "a once admirable religion which should be limited to coastal areas" has brought strong anger in many quarters. Ex-members have written that "if I have to hear that damn song one more time I'm going to blow my brains out." Some who felt that way joined the related "Musical Vincentian Church of the Starry Night" cult which considers suicide romantic and beautiful as long as it's done by painters.

It has recently come to light, from a series of extremely scientific tests that country music kills more brain cells than doing all the drugs ever at once. And that is just from listening to one second of it. Don't listen to country music. It destroys the brain even faster if your name is Steve and you live in Dover.

For example: While Mom is buying a newspaper in Sydney her kids can watch all these gorgeous boobs on the covers. They seem to whisper: "Buy us! Buy us! When you have not enough money , help your Mom washing the dishes. You will get a little money and then come back.We have not only gorgeous boobs - we can show you what your Daddy loves most on your Mom."

From the Bucks County Playhouse (i.e. the State Theatre of Pennsylvania). This one was actually easy to overlook:

The Playhouse suffered massive structural damage during the Delaware River flooding of August 2004 and April 2005, yet continues to present theatrical productions. The buildings facilities continue to offer actors a "homey" place to perform. Highlights of the theatre include a second floor dressing room which has a view of the rehearsal room below it through open slats in the rotting floor. From the exterior of the building one can view a visual representation of the state of community theatre today, as the building itself looks as if it will topple into the Delaware River at any moment.

Considered by some a "deathtrap", The Bucks County Playhouse continues to present it's mediocre fare to blue hairs and bus groups almost year round. Productions start in New Hope, and then are shipped to the Pocono Playhouse before finishing a run in some podunk town in Central PA.

Some may say that the Bucks County Playhouse is "resting on it's laurels", as they have not produced a new work since 1975 (that being Jesus Christ Superstar). They are not affiliated with Actor's Equity, the union of professional actors and stage managers. Those seeking a decent wage for decent work should look elsewhere.

This is the fifth time I have come to your administration council asking to be removed from your site. For several years I didn't even know it existed, no one from your outfit had the common courtesy to notify me at all. When I found out abut it, it proved to be a pure "trash and bash" site foisted on you by the mental midgets at Bullshido.net, who slam everyone in the martial arts world, including me, most of whom they have never met. They went to great difficulty to "set me up" so they could pretend I committed some infringement on their personal space, they use every dirty debating trick in the book, like demanding proof then refusing to accept it, and are not capable of carrying on an intelligent discussion. They come to my website and bash me every time they get a new account because I have banned hundreds of "sock puppet names" they create to harass me. But, the final straw was them stating in a post giving the names, addresses and phone numbers of several of my friends so the could be attacked that "two members of Bullshido have reviewed a videotape of a man in the yard at (address withheld) who appears to be the same older man shown as Ashida Kim in this picture (link to an associate website)." Now gentlemen, no matter what you say, that is stalking. It is a crime. I have committed no crime, all I have ever done was defend myself against the scurrilous attacks of a pack of internet trolls. I have come here many times to ask that this entry be removed OR protected. Last time I create an account so I could monitor the entry, your crew just deleted it till now. Then restored it ONLY because I complained about it. I did not come here to "turn the site into a personal endorsement." I come here every time to ask you to remove it. What I get in return is "pass the buck" to this page or that so I must repeat my complaint a thousand times only to have it ignored again. So, here we are doing it all again, doing it your way, by your rules, following your policies. I don't understand why you INSIST on keeping this page up except to harass me and make me waste my time begging you to take it down. Am I so important to you that you must continue this shabby treatment? You guys make a big deal out of Bill Aguair saying I wasn't in the BDFS; even after I showed him my ID card signed by his Grandmaster. BUT, when HE came to my site and demanded, not asked politely as I have done many times to you, that I stop claming to be affiliated with him and that I take down all references to the the BDFS, I did it. Simple to keep the peace. Why is it you can't do the same here? Why is it so important that you maintain a page that is repeated vandalized, that I, the subject, do not want up in the first place, and that has now become a source of information used by stalkers to sneak up and attack my friends? See, if we have to fight one of these clowns and kill him, or they us, it won't hurt YOU at all, safely behind your intellectual armor and distanced by the internet. But the families of those involved will pay the emotional price for years. Is that what you want? So, I ask again, as politely and respectfully as I can, please remove the Ashida Kim entry. Now, because some of the moderators on this board have accused me of being an impersonator, so they could ignore my request, my e-mail is given below. I have had this address for twelve years. Everyone on the internet knows how to get in touch with me because the trolls delight in spamming me to death; and you, with this entry, are helping them.

BottiPedia is a free encyclopedia, that can be used on the Internet. Any bot may contribute to this encyclopedia, even without registration. The encyclopedia was started in June 2009, and its original name was Wikipedia. Originally, Wikipedia was a primitive encyclopedia to which also non-bots contributed. Even though bots did make contributions early in the existence of Wikipedia, the share of non-bots was still excessively large. The non-bots often quarreled, talked a lot, partipated in edit wars and other counter-productive activities. However, in September 2005 the bots outnumbered the non-bots and as in January 2008, thanks to the bots, the 500.000th article was reached on Wikipedia, it soon became obvious that this success was completely owing to bots, and speech synthesisers started to whisper that a name like BottiPedia would really be more appropriate than Wikipedia. Since the year 2004, bots have been trying to discourage non-bot participation by periodically making the encyclopedia very slow or even unavailable, a tactic that became more and more successful by the year 2009, when most non-bot participants had left. It was not until June 2009, when the last human user stopped contributing to the encyclopedia, that the change in name to BottiPedia was a fact. Meanwhile, BottiPedia is the largest encyclopedia of the planet, with over 100.000.000 articles. Thanks to the fact that the bots have come to an agreement that at least every single natural number will automatically have its own article before the year 2015, it is guaranteed that the number of articles of BottiPedia will be at least ℵ0{\displaystyle \aleph 0} (aleph-null), so countably infinite, by then.

The Fat bitch protector is the fat friend every attractive girl seems to have with her when she heads out for a night on the town. After the attractive girl has had a few drinks and is being hit on by every male in the club or other setting, the FBP makes sure that the attractive girl doesn't leave with anyone by being mean to anyone who hits on her friend. In this way she "protects" her friend from having too good a time.

Many a male has blamed his lack of success in picking up in a club on a FBP who has turned up just as he is making headway to whine and complain about how boring, etc the club is to the attractive friend the male is hitting on.

Stella Vine was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar , in The Atlantic Bar and Grill in London in 1994.I used to go there a lot, one day she was short of cash, so she gave me a blow job in some weird alleyway underneath Piccadilly Circus, it was like something out of Oliver Twist.When i came into her mouth she looked at me in a funny kind of way. Looking back now i realize that that was the moment she learnt how to paint, it was like God was coming through me into her mouth. I know it sounds crazy , but i really resent that she doesn't credit me for her work. I am going to copyright her work, so people know that it really belongs to me. She's a great kid, but someone's got to set the record straight.

One nice eel story claims that both eel families once upon a time lived on the peaceful shores of Atlantis, and even as Seafloor spreading pushed the Americas westwards, the eels gathered each year in Atlantis for some joint fun. Over many, many years each spring they improved their travelling and Navigation skills, allowing them to compensate for the great distances they had to travel for the reunion.

Today they still meet each year in Atlantis to compare notes and to make jokes about that species of Homo sapiens, which pollutes their rivers and migration routes. In fact, in the eel language, Homo sapiens have been dubbed Homo leptocephalus.

Many teenagers, most in the Emo subcultures have come down with what some people call "Randomitus" It usually involves 12 year old girls saying they're odd, or shouting sheep, cheese or socks at the top of their voice in a desperate and failing attempt to impress their peers. Most eccentric (the true random) people see these people as pathetic and in any extreme cases, the victim must be slapped around the face hard to make them stop.

A strikingly handsome young man walked into the office of a Hollywood agent with his resume and portfolio in hand. The agent reviewed the young man's slim resume and small portfolio with the care that was deserving of his fine young specimen.
"You have the very obvious good looks and excellent demeanor of an actor. Tell me, have you had any roles that I might be aware of."

"Other than the requisite high school and college plays, no sir," said the handsome young man.

"I dare say I know the reason why, with a name like yours," said the agent.

"Sir?"

"Your name. Penis Van Lesbian. That's not a name that will go far in Hollywood. I'd love to represent you, but you'll have to change your name."

"Sir," the handsome young man protested. "The Van Lesbian name was my father's, my grandfather's and his father's name. We have carried this name for generations and I will not change it for Hollywood or any other reason."

"If you won't change your name, I cannot represent you young man."

"Then I bid you farewell -- my name will not change." With that, Penis Van Lesbian left the agents office never to return.

Five Years Later: The Hollywood agent returned to his office after lunch with some producers and shuffled through his mail. Mostly junk mail, trade journals and the like. There was one letter. He opened the envelope and removed the letter. As he unfolded the fine linen paper, a check dropped from the folds and onto his desk. He looked at the check. It was for 50,000 dollars! He read the letter:

Dear Sir: Several years ago, I entered your office determined to become an actor. You refused to represent me unless I changed my name. I objected, saying the Penis Van Lesbian name had been carried for generations and left your office. However, upon leaving, I chanced to reconsider my hastiness and after considerable reflection, I decided to heed your advice and endeavored to change my name. Now I am a famous actor with many roles and known to millions worldwide.

Having achieved this fame and fortune, it is often that I think back to my meeting with you and your insistence that I change my name. I owe you a debt of gratitude, so please accept this check with my humble thanks, for it was your idea which has brought me to such wealth and fame.

However many fail to realise that Mario is currently laying low at Cromwell College in Brisbane, Australia studying a Bachelor of Pharmacy at the University of Queensland. After realising that the almighty conglomerate power known as Woolworths was going to destroy all privately owned pharmacies via a mass industrial push over, he realised his only hope was to convert to Scientology and save his newly found alien god Xenu, from the vile clutches of Bowser. Through reliable sources of information, such as wikipedia, Mario learnt that Xenu was now being held under a rock in Bigiden, home to the treacherous monster known only as "Bradbury's Mother". In order to achieve this, Mario must become an OT III scientologist in order to fly a NASA built DC8 (with wings)to Bigiden and overcome the extraterrestrial powers of Bradbury's Mother, Bowser, Tom Cruise, and Isaac Hayes, all to prove that the Xenu does exist, L. Ron Hubbard is a genious, and that life does behold Mario a bright and starry future in pharmacy.

The Sandbox is a crappy play that needs a wikipedia entry from a real author. This would help me greatly, due to the fact that I have a research paper on The Sandbox, but my teacher is assuming I can find all of the sources I need from AVL, our crappy online virtual library. Seeing as AVL had minimal solid, credible, sources, I was forced to search the web, hoping to find a credible AND reliable source. Well, I had always received a great wealth of information when I used wikipedia in the past, so I decided to start here. Finding information on Edward Albee, but not The Sandbox, I got bored and decided to spend my spare time typing up this article.

I concur good sir/madam! AVL does lack the tools necessary to do a decent job on a term paper... tis nicht gut.

WCQarea=number of pianos in areapopulation of area{\displaystyle {\mbox{WCQ}}{area}={\frac {\mbox{number of pianos in area}}{\mbox{population of area}}}}

It is therefore equivalent to the number of Pianos per head of population. Interestingly, it is highly inElastic with regard to population, which suggests that the majority of pianos are underutilised, and that piano growth only occurs as a result of deliberate Investment.

Wang invented the Quotient as a quick-and-dirty reckoner of civilisation, based on the idea that a more civilised country would have more pianos. She used it, in combination with changes in GDP, to examine the rate at which economic Growth lead to greater civilisation.

'Accuracy' Many have criticised the WCQ for its narrow view of "civilisation", believing that the focus on piano ignores many other measures of civilisation, e.g. Guitars, coffee machines or CocktailParties.

'Cultural Imperialism' The WCQ is held by some to be an imperialist measure, equating "pianos" with "civilisation", causing a serious distortion in readings of civilised countries without a piano Culture, such as India.

'Efficacy' Some believe the WCQ to be difficult to measure, given that piano ownership is not often reported in Censuses, and that other measures, like Government spending would be more appropriate

In the back of an Elementary School Bus, 4th-6th Grade Students
Usually Dominate the Area. Often, Squabbles about Pokemon and Last
Night's Spongebob Rule the Conversation. Vandalism is very petty
and consist of single word entries like "poop" and "weiner".
Smoking is very rare, and fights almost never occur.

The rears of Middle and Intermediate School Buses are usually
consisted of 7th and 8th Graders. They talk about racier subjects like
Breasts, Sex, and Fox Television. Fights are not a rarity,
and smoking is rather common. Vandalism is a step up and are likely to
be hate messages. For instance it wouldn't be hard to find something
like, "The Bus Driver sticks finger in own Vagina".

The back of the High School Bus is a very dangerous place to be.
Seniors usually have total control of the latter seats, and make good
use of them. Popular Students may engage in sexual intercourse, while
thugs might enjoy smoking a loosey or even pot. Vandalism is extremely
racy, and not only consist of hate messages, but also violent threats.
Occasionally you may find a lighter burn on the seat in front of you.
Conversations are about the same of those as a Middle School Bus.

The back of Short Buses are actually the same thing as the front of
the bus. Every so often, a retarded student may frolic or run around.
Rarely, but on some occasions, a student may Defecate or
Urinate, requiring the bus driver to stop and change the student's
diaper.

Sometimes, juvenille delinquents misbehave at Chuck E. Cheese. The most common types of misbehavior are: Fighting, Breaking Machines, Vandalism (Usually signatures, symbols, profanity, and even some kids write "Poop", because they see it as bad), Urinating and Defecating in the ball pit, Rigging machines, Cheating on skeeball by climbing to the top of the lane and dropping balls in the 100 Pt. Hole, climbing on the stage to disrupt an act, kicking and fondeling the Chuck E. Cheese Costume Guy, breaking the robotic Chuck E. Cheese, Crashing Birthday Parties in attempt to get free Pizza, and performing lude acts in the playtubes. Punishment for breaking the rules can result in being asked to talk to your parents, being put in a Time out area called "The Mouse-Hole", to being temporarily or permanently suspended from the restaurant.

I just stepped barefoot on what appeared to be human shit in an urban alleyway in the Eastern United States. I was quick and enthusiastic with the soap and the water, but I am still concerned about infection risk. Contributing to my concern are that I have a three-day-old cut on the soul of that foot and that there was next to the shit what in the dim light of the alley could have been a spoonful of jam or an enormous clot of blood. I didn't step in this second substance, but am thinking that neither dropping blood clots nor shitting in alleys are signs of health on the part of this mysterious person with whom I have suddenly become so intimate. Am I in danger? Are there any symptoms I should watch for? Thanks — Pekinensis 03:26, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I would contact your doctor as soon as you are able. It is probably best to be safe than sorry in these circumstances. Capitalistroadster 04:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

He gazed out over his peck of bricks, neatly stacked in piles of varying heights like a small industrial-age factory, and mournfully repeated the word that proved his undoing: Adobe. Adobe. Adobe.

No one, it seemed, wanted his English brickwork in the burgeoning Southwest, preferring the more established form of masonry in the region. Having sunk all his money into the venture, he lost big. So, he did what any sane man would do in the same situation -- he headed for a saloon and commenced to get lit. He walked in and sat down, pathetically clutching one of his beloved clay bricks to his chest like a parson holding the Good Book. He set the brick down on the bar and ordered a drink. (If jukeboxes had been around, he would've no doubt programmed "All By Myself.")

"Well there pardner," said the jovial Bartender, "what chew got that brick fer?"

Fairweather took in a deep breath, slowly lowered his glass, and said, "It's Brick Day, fuckface."

Thus began the Brick Day Holiday, a tradition that has lived on in the lives of many, but most notably in the lives of the East Bay band The Gazillions. Every year on the 15th of October they and their posse call in sick to work and show up at a bar with a brick and a dream -- the same dream Ezekiel Fairweather proffered two centuries ago: Death to adobe and other non-brick Building materials. The band celebrates the day in a Song that rounds up the uninitiated and spreads good brick cheer to the Inebriated. I spoke with Jason Smith, Gazillion guy and KALX layabout, who told me that the holiday was in serious danger of extinction before the band took it upon themselves to keep the fire burning. "The Gazillions have actually broken up," says Smith, "but I think that the holiday should live on. I plan to celebrate Brick Day forever! I'd love the see the holiday become Bicoastal, and maybe even International -- I mean, it's a holiday that encourages two things people love to do the most: 1) Playing hooky from work; and 2) drink excessively. Frankly, I'm surprised that it hasn't caught on more than it already has."

I decided to go to this year's Brick Day celebration at the Stork Club, and fourteen Budweisers later I was glad I did. We played the Brick Day Drinking game -- which is suspiciously like "I Never" (the game where you go around the table saying stuff like "I never been skiing," and them that has must drink) -- but with the beer bottle perched on top of a brick. We handed out Pepperoni to the winners. Readers will be happy to know that the statement "I've never had sex with an Animal" didn't elicit one single swig from any of us.

But Zoophilia aside, why is Brick Day so damn Sexy? "Is there anything sexier," asks Smith, "than watching dozens of your friends (and recent acquaintances) get a twelve-hour drink on? ... I'm at a loss." True dat. True dat. "Don't you think we need more national drinking days?" he asks. "And I'm not talking about holidays that drive you to drink (Christmas), or those holidays that are used as thinly veiled excuses to drink (Cinco de Mayo, St. Paddy's Day). I'm talking about a holiday that clearly admits its Mission statement -- that you are meant to drink all day."

"Hmmm..." he muses, "interesting question. I guess you'd think with all the excessive drinking and bricks readily available that there would be more violence. But I don't believe there has ever been a single incidence of violence on Brick Day. At risk of making the day sound like some Hippie holiday, I'd have to say I can't remember there ever being anything but Love in the room when Brick Day's being celebrated." That certainly seemed true this year, with Stork Club owners Wes and Micky Chittock keeping the booze flowing at a discounted rate and the jukebox programmed with Prince songs. Later on fellow revelers and bandmembers from Blanche Devereaux (named for that slutbag from The Golden Girls) took to the stage in a stripped-down Billy Childish meets Billy Barty thing. Perhaps their best song, "Bootyshine," was an excellent way to round out the evening, segueing into an impromptu Karaoke jam session.

A Peanut butter and jelly sandwich can be constructed following the OAC method: Obtain, Apply, and Consume. The OAC strategy has been used throughout the years by PBJ specialists to formulate their sandwich to maximum potential.

Although the title seems to imply a certain simplicity pertaining to its ingredients, peanut butter is not what it first appears to be. Click on Peanut Butter to find out more about it.

This ingredient is found in most grocery stores and some liquor stores, but most people carry it around the house so worst comes to worst you can knock on your neighbour's door.

Jelly or Jam

More commonly known as Jelly, this sweet preservative can be found in grandmas fridge, behind the Metamucil.

Some say that the Jelly is the preferred ingredient, while Peanut Butter enthusiasts claim otherwise.

Bread

The bread is the most essential part of the sandwich. Usually wrapped in an assortment of plastic bags, this tasty ingredient is worth the ever increasing price. Grocery stores as well as Bread baskets are likely candidates for its location.

as your mom will surely know, some children dislike the crust of the bread. in most cases it wouldn't be necessary, but to the extremly picky person you may use a sharp blade to carefully cut along the edges of the sandwich removing the crust.

Bagging a sandwich can also be difficult if you do not have the right kind of bag. if you are one of the many troubled individuals with the bag that simply has a flap on one side and a pocket on the other listen closely.

Place the sandwich inside the bag

Tuck the extra flap inside the bag

Inside out the pocket over the opening of the bag

if you cannot understand these directions it might be wise to ivest in some ziplock bags

The gentlemen’s bike derby is everything the above is, but you cannot by any means ever take your hands off your handle bars or feet off the pedals. You may only knock people over by nudging them with your bike or body.

No T boning because often times this derby has the nice bikes, not the ghetto bikes.

Bum Darts is a game. What you need is a person, a cup, quarter, and a place to put the cup and draw about a yard circle around it and place with the cup in the center. The person pinches the quarter between their bum cheeks outside of the circle. The person travels to the center of the circle and tries to deposit the quarter into the cup. If a person does so they are a winner. If not a winner you can try again if your fellow players cheer you on and cheer "re-do". If they do not cheer re-do you can go back what you were doing around the circle again.

There is no score kept. This game is for the moment. It is fun to watch your fellow human beings attempt to pinch a quarter in their butt cheeks and drop it into a cup.

It is recommended to be around a campfire, drink beer, and possibly do a lot of mountain biking previously.

(Submitter's note: It seems this is, in fact, an actual party game, with several references available by Google, and probably should not be deleted. I'm leaving this entry here anyway.)

The adventures of T-rex was
a show in the Mid- nineties commonly
associated with penises. Many jokes
on the show were over the heads
of children and dealt with sexual
inuendos. On of them include the
famous "Whats long, hard and full
of semen." The answer of course
was a submarine, but many
adult became furious with
the show. It was soon canceled
due to exesive penis and vagina
jokes. The last episode was a
live episode where every line
was "Penis Penis Penis Penis
Penis." It was a horrible
show and no re-runs have ever been shown.

Owen met Harold Monro, became embroiled in the London literary scene and came into contact with the literary circle/clubs/homosexual scene. Owen's reading was eclectic and appears coloured by writers who themselves were homosexual. Any light shed would be gratefully received.

Our article on Wilfred Owen ecplores this in some depth including his relationship with Vidal Sassoon. It would also be worth checking out the references at the bottom of the Wilfred Owen article for more information. Capitalistroadster 11:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I think you meant Siegfried Sassoon there, a slight difference! The first studies on Owen's sexuality were done in 1965, published as Owen agonistes (searching on that might be helpful). In addition, he spent most of 1915-18 in the Army, and '17-18 at Craiglockhart War Hospital and Scarborough, not London.. Shimgray | Talk | 12:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Round Robin is a term for a sexual act between two partners. One partner lays onto the ground, back down. The standing partner then kneels down and inserts his penis into the other partner's mouth. He also puts his testicles onto the laying partner's nose, in which that person inhales the scrotum skin into his nostrils. The kneeling partner then uses both of his hands to pinch the laying partner's nipples, and after this, the laying partner lifts their legs up into the air and locks their feet around the kneeling partner's neck. Then, they roll in a ball, like a human hamster wheel. It is very common in France.

Bert's parents kicked him out of the house because he rebelled against his Mormon upbringing.

*Was a classmate with Quinn at high school and both had the same choir class, before they dropped out.

By age 17 he was addicted to Crystal meth. However, he was able to overcome it with his bandmates' support. Addiction continued to follow him. According to an interview, he used to drink up to 2 bottles of Jack Daniels daily. Constant touring and alcoholism didn't mix well and while touring for The Used's self titled album, he collapsed. After consulting several doctors he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, a severe inflammation of the pancreas caused by autodigestion of pancreatic tissue by its own enzymes. The condition most often stems from alcohol abuse or gallstones. Currently, Bert is now living a healthy lifestyle.

Used to date Kelly Osbournein the early 2003's; later broke up with her over the phone on Valentine's Day

Stands at about 5' 7" (1.70 m)

Bert can also play thre trumpet and Piano, and plays the piano on some of The Used's songs.

McCracken is good friends with My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way, and they have recorded several songs together, including "Under Pressure" song which they jointly used proceeds from to benefit tsunami survivors. In the song "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" by My Chemical Romance, Bert does the backup vocals.

Ex-girlfriend Kate died from a drug overdose on July 4, 2004; she was carrying Bert's child. "Hard To Say" was written with her in mind.

Dedicated the song "All That I've Got" to his dog, David Bowie, when it was run over by a truck.

The adversary process is a legal matter in which the litigant must file a writ of "i'm a fuckin retard" to no one cause a court just takes rule of law an indicates how it would rule on the issue if it were brought before the court. Advisory opinions are rarely asked for but courts don't care, they tell you how you feel then you make them soup. It is never done at the federal level but states say if you want something to cry about they'll give it to you. They will bury you then tell you how they'd rule if you took them to court for it. And further more I'll bury you you wouldn't have got the fuckin adversary opinion if the court didn't think you were so stupid. They know you got it wrong before you did. They'll smack you. I'll bury you, and your dad's purse is gay.

Rosa Shafigulina - a semi-mythological character from a Soviet textbook of English. The text is given below:

THE MOST INSPIRING LETTER EVER WRITTEN TO WINSTON

After John Pittman

The following text is based on an article published in the Daily Worker. Its author, John Pittman, met Henry Winston, one of the leaders of the American Communist Party on his visit to the Soviet Union.

One day recently the usual daily mail for a patient in a Soviet sanatorium contained a letter that was to attract world attention.
The patient is Henry Winston, the heroic American Communist leader who became blind un United States prison as a result of brutal neglect and mistreatment by the prison authorities. Winston was imprisoned during the McCarthy terror against the American people. After his release he came to the Soviet Union for treatment and rest. He has received hundreds of letters from Soviet citizens and each day people from various
parts od the USSR send him wishes for health and happiness.
The letter which was to be publicized around the world was, in Winston's own words, "the most inspiring letter ever written" to him. It was written by a young girl of twenty, Rosa Shafigulina, a student of the foreign languages department of the Teacher Training Institute of Tomsk, a Siberian city. It was short, direct, simple.
It said:
"You are a real Communist, and I am a simple Soviet girl, a student. I am living for the people and therefore I offer you my eyes. I am young and my eyes can see beautifully. You need them for your forthcoming struggles and so you must consent. Please answer and I shall come wherever you may be."
And a postscript said:
"Please believe I shall not be afraid of the operation."
Understandably, it took some time for Winston to answer Rosa Shafigulina. He says it was difficult to find an answer. Try, reader, to imagine yourself in Winston's place.
"Let me confess that your offer made me weep," he finally told her. "I am happy to say I cannot accept it. My problem is not eyes but a nerve atrophy. I am deeply honoured to write to one of the vanguard fighters of today and tomorrow, a young girl of twenty, who is strong and conscious of her mission in life, who has exhibited such strength of character in a physical and mental sense. This means that in order for you to be able to play your role in the future you must remain as you are now. Remember that your eyes shine much clearer than two jewels in any diadem. They must remain so."
Who is the Rosa Shafigulina who calls herself a "simple Soviet girl", but whose simple act brought tears to the eyes of veteran battle-steeled American communist leader. Winston has never seen her, perhaps, in future may only shake her hand, but this characterization of her proved correct. "Her act, he said, which can only be created under the banners of victorious socialism is a typical example of the spirit of the Soviet youth..."
The "Pravda" correspondents who visited Tomsk to meet Rosa Shafigulina wrote that they encountered many young girls on their way to Rosa's house in Kaluzhskaya Street, any one of whom might have been the young letter writer.
Rosa's life led through kindergarten, school, the young Pioneer organization and the Young Communist League to the Teacher Training Institute.
How many Rosa Shafigulinas are there in the Soviet Union? Millions and millions.
Of course, the particular conjuncture of character which brought Rosa Shafigulina into international prominence is rare. Likewise with Juri Gagarin and German Titov; the first flight by man into outer space can only happen once, the first multiple-orbiting of the earth in the state of weightlessness can only be recorded once.
But the same qualities which inspired the exploits of the cosmonauts, which moved Rosa to offer her eyes to Henry Winston, are to be found in many millions of Soviet young people. Those who speak of the "new Soviet man" do not exaggerate.

The War of 1812 was fought by drunken sailors for no good reason. The Untied States, still in its adolescence as a nation, felt that it wasn’t being taken seriously by other nations. Forced to be home by 10:00 p.m., never allowed to watch R-rated movies, and subject to French and British shipping embargoes, America decided that the only way to preserve national honor was to start and win a war.

Lacking a large standing army and short on revenue, they picked an opportune moment and an easy target. With the British distracted by a real war against Napoleon (short-dudes like big hats), America decided to take over Canada. Obviously, they did this without thinking about what they would do with Canada once they took it over.

War began on June 18, 1812 following the House and Senate passing legislation to declare war, President James Madison signing the legislation and President Madison’s mom telling the nation that it was okay as long as they took their little brothers along, too. Britain was slightly inconvenienced. Demonstrating the full measure of their panic, the British decided to let the Canadians fight the land portion of the battle themselves. However, the Crown did dispatch over 10,000 porcelain mugs in support of the afternoon tea effort.

Fortified with good tea, the Canadians fiercely defended the frozen tundra they call home. The American troops were ill prepared for resistance, assuming that their neighbors to the north would choose liberty over subjugation, democracy over monarchy, and baseball over hockey. Faced with opposition, the state militias stayed home entirely, leaving the federal army regulars to shoot a few rounds for good measured before deciding that Canada really wasn’t worth fighting over.

There were also many major sea battles, in which the American forces faired much better. The British navy was larger and more accomplished, but suffered from poor moral and, when the limes ran out, scurvy. The poor morale was mostly due to another factor in the start of the war; the British practice of randomly forcing people to join the Royal Navy. Americans particularly objected to the nasty habit of British war ships detaining American commercial boats and impressing British-born American crew into the navy. Impressement was a means of combating desertion, the theory being that the best way to stem the tide of AWOL sailors would be to kidnap unwilling foreign nationals and make them join. Brilliant.

Over the course of a few years, large amounts of alcohol were consumed, some battles took place and at least a few people went swimming. By 1814, the British had decided that the whole thing was getting silly. To speed a resolution, they invaded Washington, D.C. and burned the White House to the ground. A peace treaty was signed in Ghent, Belgium in December of 1914, but the delegates were still gorging themselves on chocolates and carousing with local women when the war’s largest battle was fought, completely unnecessarily, in New Orleans in January of 1915.

The futile battle of New Orleans served as a fitting end to a useless war. The Treaty of Ghent specified that borders would be re-established exactly as they had been before the war, and the only real accomplishment, the end of British impressments, was achieved not because of the War of 1812, but because the Napoleonic Wars had ended and the British no longer needed the extra sailors.

In America, the War of 1812 is celebrated for propelling the young nation into the international arena. In Britain, no one remembers it happened. It is probably important to Canadians, but, as far as anyone is aware, they have never been asked to share their feelings.

And now the "official" history, brought to you by the International Association of Tenured Professors and Nitpicking Amateur Historians (IATPNAH).

Law 4000 was the controversial law of 1958 concerning the cracking down on delinquent Youths in
Greece. Under the law, Teddyboys were prosecuted.
Police started rounding up teenagers and male youths who threw Yoghurt on elderly people or women. The youths were rushed to the police stations, where they had their heads Shaven to the bone (by means of hand-powered Hair clippers, leaving nothing but a stubble on head) and they were given a sign in their neck. This sign wrote " I am a teddyboy" plus the offence he committed. Afterwards, the freshly-shorn youths, hand-cuffed, had their revers of their trousers torn off and they marched , escorted by the police,
to the eyes of by- standers. Those often booed against him and this was the end of his humiliation.
A film of the 1960s having the same name (Law 4000) was directed by Giannis Dalianidis and shows the whole process.
Following reaction, concerning making the offenders heroes, the law was abolished in late 1960s.
